• Brunei’s archaeology does not get nearly enough attention.⠀ ⠀ For this bonus post, I’m looking at Kota Batu Archaeological Park, the site of Brunei’s old capital. It is not a spectacular ruin in the usual sense — no towering temples, no monumental gateways — but its fragments tell a fascinating story: tombs, ceramics, sandstone pillar bases, river defences, house posts, imported wares, and traces of a working port city.⠀ ⠀ Kota Batu shows Brunei not as a quiet corner of Southeast Asian archaeology, but as part of the maritime world that linked Borneo with China, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines and beyond.
  • This week’s Southeast Asian Archaeology newsletter is about movement, adaptation, and why archaeology is rarely as tidy as we pretend.⠀ ⠀ Inside:⠀ 🏹 a new review of bow-and-arrow evidence from India to Oceania⠀ 🪙 a study of how Roman materials were filtered and remade in Southeast Asia⠀ 🌊 new work on maritime links between Angkor and China during the megadrought period⠀ ⠀ Also this week: Angkor palace waterworks, the Cẩm An shipwreck, and the reopening of Phimai National Museum.⠀ ⠀ Link in bio / https://bit.ly/4dV88wS ⠀ #SoutheastAsianArchaeology #Archaeology #Heritage #Angkor #Vietnam #Thailand #Cambodia #AncientTrade #MaritimeArchaeology
  • New this week in Southeast Asian Archaeology: the Plain of Jars, trade beads, burial rituals, Philippine obsidian, coastal watchtowers, public archaeology, and a museum rethink of the galleon trade.⠀ ⠀ The lead story is a new paper from Laos, where one huge jar at Site 75 contained the remains of at least 37 people and hints at a long, careful mortuary tradition. From there, the issue moves across the region, with a particularly strong run of stories from the Philippines on exchange networks, local histories, and the stories archaeology tells in public.⠀ ⠀ Jars, beads, boats, and the occasional inconvenient fact. https://bit.ly/3RqKWyW ⠀ ⠀ #SoutheastAsianArchaeology #Archaeology #Heritage #Laos #Philippines #Museums #PublicHistory

  • The Ayala Museum’s Gold of Ancestors exhibition showcases over a thousand gold objects, many originating from Butuan and the Surigao Treasure and generally dated to the 10th–13th centuries CE. These pieces demonstrate the Philippines’ participation in extensive regional trade networks and the high level of craftsmanship achieved before Spanish colonisation. #southeastasianarchaeology #philippines #ayalamuseum #surigao #butuan

  • New finds lead this week’s Southeast Asian Archaeology newsletter: possible Khmer temple remains in Mondulkiri and Korat, a prehistoric settlement in Lào Cai dating to around 2000–1500 BCE, and wooden stakes in Hoa Lư that may yet reshape how we think about the Trần-era landscape.⠀ ⠀ https://bit.ly/3QomnlM

Now that the COVID-19 pandemic has been largely brought under control, the ancient Cham Bau Truc pottery village in Ninh Phuoc district, Ninh Thuan province, is gradually restoring production. In addition to its traditional products, the craft village is also promoting the design and production of modern decorative ceramics and fine art ceramics, to meet the changing needs of the market.
